Someone enlighten me: what is a good BW mouse? What makes this mouse the ONE? I am battling with a 2 button freebie-Dell mouse (even without a scroll wheel)? Are there any buttons that are supported by BW other than left and right click? Or do you program the buttons like middle button = Alt-key, right side button = Ctrl-key?!?

same problem with me - mouseware for mx510 doesnt work, the standard mouseware doesnt work (on ps2 they work but that sux 4 me), windows drivers dont work...
By now there are no special drivers for G1 available but i think Logitech will offer some soon.

What's the main difference between the G1 and G5?

the g5 has a laser sensor, while g1 is optical. Another difference is shape and weight. G5 is a mx500 class mouse and the g1 is a mx300 class mouse.

I'm in Taiwan, and I saw the G1 mouse in a store, and i bought it - it was 1000 NT, which translates to 33$ US, which I think is a pretty good price, although the G1 is the low model of the G-series of Logitech mice.

I will plug it in now and let you guys know a review maybe sometime soon in the future!

It looks identical to the mx300, except for the color and coating of the mouse, but it seems the "feet" of the mouse is slightly different (different material or something).

YO. Is there a mouse driver for this mouse? Without the logitech driver (where I can increase the speed beyond the windows capabilities GREATLY), this mouse is a piece of shit for me. Right now it feels ok, but seeing how I have to move the mouse 3 inches just to get it to move 3 inches on the screen, I need to find a driver for this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I sended mail to logitechs support , and it went like this :

HI
G1 mouse is designed as a powerful but yet simplicity in mind. User will now enjoy a lightweight and durable 5.8 megapixel (powerful) mouse but without the hassle of installing driver (simple). Speed (but not acceleration) can still be adjusted with the mouse properties in control panel. User can consider MX510, MX518, G5 and G7 which provide different levels of customization if that is a requirement.

So, i got rid of that negative acceleration with some registry fixes... But yet i cant find that

"my sensitivity" which i had with mx510 + mouseware : (

Wow, the G1 hasn't come out in the US yet but I was planning on getting it when it did. Sucks, that it doesn't have a driver.

Normal logitech mouseware drivers don't work? I never noticed that their drivers were mouse-specific.

Just looked it up on Logitech site, seems you guys are right. However, since the G1 uses (I think) the MX510 sensor, you could try the MX510 drivers, or the drivers for whatever mouse the G1 uses the sensor from.
